The vehicle used for the Ecto-1 was a
1959 Cadillac professional chassis, built by the
Miller-Meteor company. The ambulance/hearse combination was the end loader variety.
Dr. Ray Stantz found the vehicle shortly after he mortgaged his mother's house to buy the
Firehouse. Because of his mechanical skills, he was able to repair the vehicle, which he acquired for
$4,800 (a rather large sum at the time for a used vehicle in such disrepair - equal to about
$9,800 in 2008 dollars).
After repair, the vehicle had quite a unique character. It became a well-recognized symbol for the
Ghostbusters franchise, both in the film itself, and in real life. The vehicle had enough room in it to store
Proton Packs for all of the crew, along with
Ecto Goggles', P.K.E. Meters, and a slew of Traps. -
